This will only connect one time, I keep needing to switch off/ then on power for my Iphone to connect to bluetooth speakers. First time it locates the speakers and i pair/connect fine, Next day i try to connect and always says unable to connect (make sure in range and discoverable). The only way round this is to unplug the speakers, and then plug them back in, only then am i able to connect to them.

I'm sorry, I have not experienced this issue. I use android phones and an iPad just fine. However, I do not leave the speakers on 24/7

I don't have an iPhone, but we use a Mac desktop, and experience similar problems, but my droid phone connects in seconds, so I've attributed it to a Mac Bluetooth problem and not necessarily the speakers.

I have the same problem. I have also had it not connect with my iPhone until another device makes a connection first. I have not found an answer yet but will keep an eye out and report back here if I do.

Try turning your Bluetooth on and off, that works for me when I lose connection, beats going over and unplugging speakers

Mine does the same thing if I go out of range without dropping the connection first when I get back in range it won't reconnect unless I turn the speakers off then repair.

Hi,The exact same thing happens to me. We tried to save some money and go with these Bluetooth speakers rather than the old fashioned receiver/hookup wiring throughout the house. In hindsight, it was a bad decision. Wish I could help but we haven't been happy either.

The instructions in the manual are a bit vague so I can see how it's confusing. Try this: 1. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone. 2. Turn off the speaker. 3. Go to the Bluetooth section in Settings on your phone; don't turn on Bluetooth via the control center (which you may not even have on an iPhone 3). 4. Turn on the speaker (switch on bottom); the blue LED sbove the little Bluetooth symbol should be flashing. 5. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone. 6. "Jam Classic" (or similar name) should appear as a pairing device under "Devices" on your phone; tap to select; you should hear a chime from the speaker letting you know it's connected and the word "Connected" should appear next to Jam Classic (or whatever) on you phone. 7. Voila, you're paired. 8. Always turn on the speaker first and then the Bluetooth on the phone to pair in the future (at least that's what I have to do); no tapping to select the speaker necessary once your phone "knows" your speaker. If this doesn't help (it worked for me) then I'm not sure what you can do.

I don't think there is any Bluetooth connectivity here. My iPad does not see it. My iPhone 4S does not see it. There is no Bluetooth symbol or sticker on the speakers anywhere. I'm not sure what the item description: "Superb gaming sound effects via Bluetooth,DBB to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level." is referring to. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has connected to it themselves as it would be useful to have my iPad oriented horizontally (for movies) and still use the speakers (undocked).

Hadn't tried it until you asked. Yes, it connected the first time with no issues. The previous answer you got that you have to use the 3.5 earphone jack is incorrect. It most certainly does work via bluetooth, but as other users suggested, just make sure it is not paired with another device such as an iPhone or iPad when you establish the connection.

I also have an iPhone 4. Here is how it worked for me. I just turned on the speaker, then went to settings and bluetooth on my iPhone. Once the device showed up as BT-150, I tapped it and it connected. Of course you have to be within 30 feet or so from the speaker.

Hi Laurie, Make sure to unpair the iPad from the speakers before trying to connect to the iPhone. Please contact AV-Express for more assistance.

It suppose to hook up through your bluetooth. I'm assuming you are going to sync with your phone. Just go to your bluetooth settings search for the device and it will appear on the screen. Switch the speaker to bluetooth logo. It will tell you that it is ready to connect. Once it has connection it will say it's connected. Hope that answered your question. It's really easy to sync.

Have not upgraded to ios7 , but I suspect the problem is with the speaker. I've had the same disconnection problems when I connect through my computer. I'd say 2 out of 10 times I've had the disconnection problem. Maybe if the speaker had a software update to it somehow it would solve the issue.

Hi, turn your Bluetooth on your phone, make sure the speaker is fully charged & turned on. Search for device, it should say "scanning" once it finds your phone hit connect. Try holding the power button down for approx 3 seconds. It will blink and make a beeping sound when it connects. I use Pandora to play it & it works. Just make sure the speaker is powered on first.

I purchased this speaker and loved it for a month or two then it would no longer connect. I thought it was the USB receiver so I purchased a replacement. Still no connection :( . I researched trouble shooting to no avail. Speaker does work on Bluetooth though. ???

only one at a time both ways. Each time you use this speaker, you have to go to Bluetooth in the settings section of the device and then click on the device to match the speaker to the device. I also thought I could use 2 speakers with one device and that does not work either. One at a time.

Keep trying LOL. Seriously, I had difficulty getting them to pair with my I pad and my I phone. They do have their peccadillos. Check the net for any variation for Windows 8. You do have to have the unit fully charged. Would not work for me otherwise. Once charged and connected, reconnects straight away. Mine absolutely will not connect if their is another bluetootlh device at hand which has been previously recognized by the unit. For example, they will not connect to my i pad if my i phone is at hand and the bluetooth is on. Let me know your experience as I am curious. When it flashes rapidly, it is trying to connect. Hold it a bit longer and see. Keep trying LOL. Seriously, I had difficulty getting them to pair with my I pad and my I phone. They do have their peccadillos.

Mine is the same way whenever I try to pair it to my iPhone 5 or iPad mini. It takes an incredibly long time to reset the connection every time I want to use the speaker. Not worth it.

I've paired mine to two devices without any issue. As I haven't used that specific phone, I can only comment on the iPhone 5 and an older iPod Touch. I'd turn both the ear buds and phone off/on and try again - make sure you find the Avantree name under the Bluetooth devices section within the phone application. Also, you really have to hold down the button on the ear buds a while to activate pairing (but if you're seeing the flashing blue light then it should be good).

I have an android that sometimes struggles to connect. I have to turn both them off (The speaker and the bluetooth on my phone) and back on, sometimes a few times, before it will connect. I don't know if that helps. I hope it does. Good luck

Ours says waiting for connection and then we turn the Bluetooth on the iPod and it connects. If Bluetooth was already on then it disconnects after a few seconds. We didn't have to do anything special. I hope this helps :)
